Nathan Berry Jockey

Nathan Berry tragically passed away on 3
April 2014 aged just 23 due to NORSE syndrome, an acute form of epilepsy.

The prodigiously talented young jockey had collapsed at Kranji trackwork just
weeks into a Singapore riding stint.

Twin brother to star Sydney rider Tommy, Nathan Berry had started to really
excel at his craft in the months leading up to his all too premature death,
booting home a string of winners including a career-peak success in the Magic
Millions 2YO aboard Unencumbered.

Like Tommy, Nathan began his riding career apprenticed to father Kevin at
Warwick Farm. As well as his association with the quality two-year-old
Unencumbered, Nathan tasted stakes success aboard Va Pensiero in the Group
Three Run To The Rose and Malavio in the Group Three Tramway Handicap.

Nathan leaves behind wife Whitney –
daughter of prominent Sydney jockey Glynn Schofield – to whom he was married on
February 2.
